So...biology is destiny? I see no evidence for that.

Maeglin was not "bound" to inherit his father's dark influence. He was quite a good guy when he saved his mother and he was a wise counselor of Turgon for many years. I would say he qualifies as a "good guy" if Boromir does. The only way Maeglin was like his father was in his pride. He loved unwisely, but not falsely. His evil deeds came from his rejected love and the jealousy resulting. Daeron also displayed jealousy out of pride, but he had less power to do something drastic out of his anger.

My least favorite "good guy", btw, is the Gaffer. He annoys me to no end.
